Dunno, but Flysurfer did/does the same thing with their depower lines. You know the lines are getting worn because they're all fluffy and splitting. The line they use is about 300kg breaking load, so I wonder if it some kind of way to spread more load?

Some brands put a mono filament line or similar to reduce the line from flapping about in the wind as much when de-powered.
This and many other useful facts can usually be given by your local knowledgable kite shop.

Flysurfer has updated their Infinity 3.0 Airstyle Bar Setup to now also come as a Clam Cleat option.

There are no pulleys, instead using a single friction ring to run the line through to keep the bar setup clean.

I've always liked the two strap option that the Airstyle bar setup came with, however on the Sonic2 I found it was quite difficult to depower at speed and under load, so then I bought a Flysurfer Race Bar setup. The downside of that was that it had waaaaayyyy to many pulleys and complication going on. Looks like for people who don't hydrofoil, this may be a good compromise when using the setup on the depower race kites.

In excellent condition, kite fabric still crisp. This is a kite that has a surprisingly large wind range, is easy to use and gives great boots! I’ve had a lot of fun on this kite. New pulleys on bridle, and added sheath over lines that pulleys run over, meaning no more wear on lines and extended longevity of bridle. Brand new depower rope on bar. 1 small patch repair to canopy. Comes with 5m line extensions (I’ve used these on the kite as an experiment to give it more range in the sky, but it would be more manageable without them).
